Grassy Pearshape

Grassy and Pearshape are two nearby areas on King Island. Grassy has a modest population of 121, while Pearshape is sparsely populated with only 5 residents. There is a vast difference in wealth; typical weekly household income in Pearshape is $8,000, which is far higher than the $916 seen in Grassy. Grassy is much more accessible, with a walkability score of 4.0 (somewhat walkable) and 97.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, whereas Pearshape is car-dependent and has no homes within that distance of a store.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining remote places with no public transport stops or routes. They are also alike in their natural landscape, with very similar terrain slopes.
